--How do you avoid jamming when going from three balls wide to a single ball shooter?
-- How do you load the shooter?

The vertical divider does just that! It prevents a three ball jam when loading the shooter. There is a servo that prevents that ball from rolling out of it's compartment. There is also a "speed bump" on the opposite side to slow that ball down. :-)
The shooter is loaded with a $3 stainless steel dog bowl mounted on a cylinder.
